“If we were a car, we would’ve been a 12-yearold Volkswagen,” says Norton’s ex-CEO Hope Alswang. “Someone handed us a Lamborghini.” By RON HAYES Palms West Monthly
West Palm Beach’s construction boom: Good or bad? West Palm Beach is in the middle of a construction boom the likes of which have not been seen in the city since the 1920s and ’30s.

WEST PALM BEACH — Stroll around the galleries in the Norton Museum of Art these days and you’ll be dazzled by all the magnificent works adorning the walls. Here’s Pablo Picasso and there’s Claude Monet. Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keefe. Winslow Homer, Jackson Pollack, Paul Gauguin and, yes, students from the Bak Middle School of the Arts in West Palm Beach. But don’t be surprised if you leave thinking the newly redesigned museum is the most magnificent work of all. “If we were a car, we would’ve been a 12-yearold Volkswagen,” says Hope Alswang, the museum’s executive director and CEO for the past nine years who will officially retire March 1. “And someone handed us a Lamborghini.” In fact, nobody handed the 78-year-old museum anything. The redesigned, reconfigured and reimagined Norton that reopened Feb. 9 came after eight years of hard work, $110 million in donations from generous philanthropists and a lot of vision. The result is so startlingly different from the museum’s previous incarnation, it almost seems dishonest to call this a redesign. “I don’t even feel like I’m in South Florida anymore!” exclaims Meghan Hurley of Palm
Beach on a recent visit, perusing the paintings in the third floor’s European Collection. “I grew up here, I’ve been to this museum before, and I don’t recognize it. This is another world.” Opened on Feb. 8, 1941, the museum first housed the private collection of paintings and sculptures donated by Ralph Hubbard Norton, (1881-1953), a Chicago steel industrialist. The population of Palm Beach County was not quite 80,000. Today, the county is nearing 1.5 million and the collection has grown to more than 7,600 pieces. And so, in September 2011, Alswang and the board of directors sat down to create a Norton for the 21st century. Alswang remembers a day in 2010 when Norton trustee Gil Maurer asked her who her first choice would be for an architect to redesign the Norton. “Norman Foster,” she told him. Lord Norman Foster’s company, Foster+Partners, created the Great Court for The British Museum in London, the expanded Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. and airports in Hong Kong and Beijing. And now, the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. On Feb. 6, 2016, ground was broken and three years later, it’s here, a virtually new museum with a whole array of new pro-

grams to offer the public. Remember that former entrance way, the circular drive and parking lot at the south end bordering Cranesnest Way? It’s now a 37,000-square-foot sculpture garden with space for outdoor events and movies under the stars. On the wide expanse of grass stand three “Total Strangers,” life-size, castiron nudes by British sculptor Anthony Gormley. Looking out on the garden is a glass-enclosed, 150-foot-long indoor sculpture gallery, flooded with light from the garden. “The whole concept was to create a museum in a garden,”
PALM BEACH GARDENS — When Dr. Tunjarnika ColemanFerrell enrolled in summer classes at Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens back in 1990, she never imagined that she would one day lead the campus. She was a newly-minted Palm Beach Gardens High School graduate with a full scholarship to Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania and had plans to become a doctor. However, before leaving her South Florida roots, she got a head start by taking courses in the summer at PBSC before starting her freshman year. “At the time, I was a premedical student, but I always knew the goal was to help people. Although I decided not to go to medical school, I’m living my dream because I’m helping all people reach their goals,” said Coleman-Ferrell, who is the new provost and dean of student services at the Palm Beach Gardens campus. Coleman-Ferrell was appointed to the role in December after spending 20 years at the Boca Raton campus as a professor and administrator. Her path to get there is partly what drives her passion. After losing both of her grandfathers during her freshman year at Washington & Jefferson, she returned home and enrolled at Florida Atlantic University. She earned four degrees from FAU: a bachelor’s degree in sociology, master’s degree in public administration, an educational specialist degree and a doctorate in education.

West Palm’s Vision Zero program receives $40,000 grant
The City of West Palm Beach’s newly-launched road safety program is paying dividends in more ways than one. The initiative, called Vision Zero, has proven to save lives in cities around the world. Here in West Palm Beach, the goal is to reduce and ultimately eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on city roads. According to the city, bicycle crashes decreased 26.7 percent from 2017 to 2018, and in that same period, crashes involving pedestrians declined 23 percent. “Vision Zero is already working,” said Tara Applebaum, Vision Zero coordinator for West Palm Beach. “We have short-term and long-term goals to help improve the safety for all city of West Palm Beach road users and we can already tell that our actions are making an impact.” The program recently received more good news – it just received a $40,000 grant from the Florida Department of

Transportation. The grant was awarded to the West Palm Beach Police Department with the goal of increasing awareness of and compliance with traffic laws for pedestrians and bicyclists. West Palm Beach was eligible
to participate in the program because the city accounts for roughly 12 percent of pedestrian and bicycle crashes in the county. The city looks to achieve its Vision Zero goal through

engineering, education and enforcement: engineering better street designs; education through local fairs and outreach programs; and enforcement of traffic laws and policy reviews. The city’s two corridors with the highest crash rates are Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and North Broadway Avenue. Other intersections are under review, and short-term options to improve road safety include signs, rumble strips and possible limitations of right turns on red lights. For more information on Vision Zero West Palm Beach, go online to wpb.org/visionzero.
Cocktail fundraiser nets $50,000 for Ballet Palm Beach
Ballet Palm Beach’s recentlyheld cocktail fundraiser netted $50,000 to support its main stage productions and community outreach programs. The nonprofit professional dance company’s founder and artistic director, Colleen Smith, welcomed 130 patrons, leaders and dancers at the new Fritz Gallery in Palm Beach. The evening included performances by Ballet Palm Beach
dancers Lily Ojea Loveland and Aaron Melendrez, and Madeleine Miller and Aurelio Guimaraes. “It was a delight to welcome so many new supporters and introduce them to our extraordinarily talented dancers,” said Smith. A highlight of the event was the auction that included the opportunity to accompany Ballet Palm Beach’s artistic director and dancers on an upcoming outreach trip to Cuba, or have a walk-on part in the company’s much-loved production of “The Nutcracker” in December. Upcoming performances by Ballet Palm Beach include “Premieres” at the Kravis Center’s Rinker Playhouse March 25-27 and “Wonderland” at The King’s Academy’s Page Family Center for Performing Arts May 10-12. For ticket information, go online to balletpalmbeach.org.
Main library now offers expanded areas for children, teens
Thanks to the recently completed renovation of Palm Beach County’s main library in West Palm Beach, teens now have their own dedicated room. And, in the expanded children’s section, youngsters feel as if they’re crossing a boardwalk into a tropical oasis. These upgrades and more were revealed during a ceremony on Feb. 1. New resources are also available at the library, including being able to borrow a laptop for use in the building and free Wi-Fi hotspots that allow users to connect to the internet anywhere in the library. Other improvements include resurfaced parking lots, painting, partial roof replacement and the addition of four new study rooms. The library was partially reopened on Jan. 7 after closing for improvements in September. The budget for the project was $2.755 million. Palm Beach County’s main library is at 3650 Summit Blvd. in West Palm Beach.

Norton offers free admission every Friday and Saturday NORTON / FROM PAGE 1
says Scott Benarde, Norton’s director of communications. The new entrance faces South Dixie Highway, shaded by a majestic 80-year-old banyan tree that towers over a reflecting pool and “Typewriter Eraser, Scale X,” a giant five-ton, 19-foot-tall sculpture by Clased Oldenburg and his wife Cooseje van Bruggen. “My mother is 93, and when she came down from New Jersey to see the museum she brought me a real typewriter eraser to show people what one looks like,” Benarde said with a chuckle. Step inside past the reception desk and you’re in the Great Hall with its 44-foot-high ceiling, tables, chairs, reading lamps, a coffee bar and special event seating capacity of 400. “Officially, it’s the Shapiro Great Hall,” Benarde explains, “but we call it the living room. We want people to feel they can come in off the street and sit here, read, have a cup of coffee.” Just beyond the living room is the new gift shop and looking on the garden is “The
Restaurant at the Norton,” with seating for 165 and dining available both inside and on the garden terrace. Meal prices range from $12 to $28. Entrance to the Great Hall, museum shop and restaurant is free. Before the renovation, the museum’s interior totaled 120,300 feet. Now it’s 133,000 square feet, a mere 12,000 square-foot increase. But with Foster’s ingenious design, it feels much bigger. Unlike the old Norton, the new museum’s three floors are filled with light and the iconic banyan tree is frequently visible. This is a museum that says, “Come in.” “All this allows us to do a whole lot more and improve our programming,” Benarde says. On Feb. 16, the museum celebrated the Chinese New Year with a day of dances, music and lectures that concluded with a fireworks display. In March, the popular “Art After Dark” series will host artist Nick Cave, discussing his multimedia use of sculpture, video, sound and dance. All Art After
Dark nights are free. There’s a new lecture series, and “Live! At The Norton,” an offering of monthly concerts. And there’s a brand new, 210seat auditorium in which to present them. Climb the stairs to the second floor and you’ll find the William Randolph Hearst Education Center, 4,000 square feet of classrooms with a student gallery where works by students from 12 area schools are on display. Currently, there’s an exhibition titled “Defining Community,” that runs through March 10. One recent morning, Nancy Metzger of Boynton Beach stood in the gallery admiring “Shopping,” a watercolor of storefronts by Siena Barefoot, a seventh-grader at the Bak Middle School of the Arts. “This is incredible,” she marvels. “I’ve been seeing the new museum on TV, so I had to come up and see what it was. Now I can’t wait until I get company so I can bring them again.” A Chinese gallery, a European gallery, American, Contemporary and Photography galleries – all
this and so much more – is what $110 million will buy. And it also bought you a ticket. Every Friday and Saturday, museum admission is free to one and all, thanks to $1 million donations from the Peter and Paula Lunder family and the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation. On March 2, Hope Alswang will hand over the leadership of
the museum to incoming director Elliot Bostwick Davis. But at the Feb. 9 grand opening, she requested only one song from the quintet entertaining in the forecourt. John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Why? “It took a lot of people, eight years and a lot of money,” she told the throng eager to be let in. “But mostly it took a lot of imagination.”

West Palm Beach’s major construction boom: Good or bad?
Rendering of The Bristol Palm Beach
West Palm Beach is in the middle of a construction boom the likes of which have not been seen in the city since the 1920s and ’30s. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s springing up: The city commission just approved a new condo at 1509 S. Flagler Dr. This as-yet unnamed building, at 300 feet tall, will become the tallest building on the city’s waterfront. Its 24 floors were touted as innovative enough to warrant a waiver to the city code. Plans for the 25-story, 83-unit La Clara condominium at 1515 S. Flagler Dr. has been approved. It will replace the 1515 Tower that was imploded nine years ago. Ground hasn’t been broken yet, but its sales office has agents in a tizzy ready to sell the $2 million to $5 million units. Just to the north, the 25-story Bristol Palm Beach towers over the Intracoastal on the site of the former Chapel by the Lake. Construction started in 2016 and now the units are almost move-in ready. The ultra-luxury apartments sell

Just west of the Bristol, at Lakeview Avenue and Dixie Highway, the 14-story, 150room Canopy by Hilton broke ground in 2017 and is expected to open in just a few months. Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene has broken ground on what will be the county’s tallest building, One West Palm. This $300 million project at Dixie and Quadrille Boulevard will have two towers, the highest reaching 426 feet. Each tower will be a mix of retail, offices condos and hotel space. On the site of the old city hall on the waterfront, the $145 million Flagler Banyan Square project is coming along quickly. It includes 251 apartments and a 200-room “Grand Hotel.” There will also be retail and office, a public observation deck and a new waterfront park. The project is slated to open later this year. CityPlace is undergoing its biggest upgrade since it opened in 2000. Rosemary Avenue and Hibiscus Street are being converted into curbless two-lane streets with ample pedestrian pathways, contemporary lighting and lush landscaping. More information can be found at futureofcityplace.com. Plans are approved for an 18-story office tower called 360 Rosemary, as well as a 21-story condo which will contain 300 to 400 units on the site that was formerly home to Macy’s. The Norton Museum of Art just opened its doors after a massive $100 million improvement project and the Kravis Center is gearing up for a major $50 million capital improvement campaign. Just down the street from the Norton, ground broke on a mixed-use project at 3111 S. Dixie Hwy. It will include two 5-story buildings and three 3-story buildings that will house 300 apartment units and contain 17,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. Heading back downtown, work will start soon on the $5
million streetscape project on the 100 and 200 blocks of Clematis Street. The project will continue the sleek “curbless” design implemented on the 300 block last year. Construction should be complete by October. I touched on everything that is currently in the works, and there’s even more projects in the pipeline! So, how do you feel about these projects? Are you excited about the new opportunities, residents and businesses that will flood our city? Do you wonder if this building boom is sustainable. Maybe you’re concerned that the town you grew up in is changing into something that you no longer recognize. Personally, I love living in a city that has a bustling downtown that attracts businesses and provides amenities to residents, as well as providing a world-class cultural destination. On the flip side, a mayoral candidate recently said that 17 percent of the city lives in poverty. Much within walking distance of these multi-million dollar developments. It seems the long-term success of our city relies on the welfare of our neighborhoods, providing services to those who are at-risk and maintaining a high quality of life for every citizen regardless of their socioeconomic status. On March 12 we will vote in a new mayor and a new commissioner for our downtown district. Those elected to run our city will certainly impact the future of our city. Research the candidates and be sure to vote.

RevForce students from Miami work on their robot at a recently-held FIRST Lego League tournament.
FIRST Lego League gets support of South Florida Science Center The South Florida Science Center has partnered with West Palm Beach-based Green Mouse Academy to promote robotics tournaments in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego League in South Florida. Students will research realworld problems such as food safety and recycling and will be challenged to develop solutions by designing, building and programming a robot using Lego Mindstorms technology. Local tournaments culminate in a regional championship and a state tournament this spring. The Science Center will provide coach training, team workshops, kickoff events, camps and other enrichment programs. “FIRST is the most recognized non-profit STEM robot-
ics education program in the world,” said Lew Crampton, Science Center president. “It is a huge feather in our cap to be invited by the program’s leadership to take on these coordination responsibilities. After careful consideration of the benefits of this program, we are convinced that stepping up to support this program is the right decision.” Through FIRST, young students learn how to apply STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts as well as imagination to solve a problem. They will also develop critical thinking, team-building and perseverance as they present their solutions to judges. The last event of the season will be the State Invitational held April 5-6 at American Heritage in Delray Beach.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
Thoughts on possibly the best Super Bowl ad never shown You never saw the best Super Bowl ad because CBS refused to run it. It’s a commercial for medical marijuana from a cannabis company called Acreage Holdings. No doubt we will see an ad like this, somewhere, in the near future. It should make you wonder how marijuana got so popular without advertising, because beer and potato chips seem to have to advertise all the time or their sales would drop. “Oh,” you might say, “that’s because marijuana is addictive, and beer isn’t.” Really? The facts would show just the opposite. As a matter of fact, wasn’t the advertising campaign for some brand of chips “Bet you can’t eat just one”? Isn’t that the definition of addiction? I know many alcoholics, but I’ve yet to meet a marijuana addict. Again, you might say, “You have met them, you just didn’t know it.” Funny, when you meet an alcoholic, you know it. When they T-bone your car, when they show up for work every now and then, when they wake up in the wrong bedroom or in jail, when they make the plane return to the airport by trying to open the cabin doors. You can tell by the divorces, by the fetal alcohol syndrome and by the thousand other little “tells.” Of course, not every drinker is an alcoholic. But when you
think of the carnage wrought by alcohol each year, it’s hard not to look at the stacks of sixpacks at every single gas station and convenience store and wonder what the commercials that end with a “Please Drink Responsibly” tagline are talking about. Telling someone to drink responsibly is like saying “Have unprotected sex with strangers responsibly – wink, wink.” If brewers wanted people to drink responsibly, beer would come in a one-pack. And why do they have to advertise so much? You rarely see an ad on TV for wine, but wineries seem to be doing all right. Even odder, CBS is the same
network that runs ad after ad for pharmaceuticals “not to be used by pregnant women” whose admitted side effects may include “death, internal bleeding and loss of hair,” among just a few. Why does an ad for alcohol not include a health warning? Is there a day or a week that goes by that you don’t hear or read about an alcohol-related accident? All the problems with pot come from smuggling and drug wars, not from smoking it. I’ve yet to hear of a frat pledge dying from an overdose of marijuana. Because an overdose doesn’t kill you; it puts you to sleep. It might be much more likely
that CBS wouldn’t run the pot commercial because it’s afraid the ad will anger all the network’s beer advertisers. Funny, marijuana has been legalized for medical and/or recreational use in 33 states, while 14 states have legalized some form of CBD oil, a non-psychoactive form of cannabis. Have you ever heard of a doctor prescribing beer for what ails you? “Oh, that constant headache back again, Bob? Let me write you a prescription for some beer.” “Hey, that’s a nasty bump on your head, Frank. I’ll call the convenience store so your beer prescription will be ready when you get there.” “Morning sick-
ness, Martha? Maybe a prescription for beer will help.” I’m still waiting for a congressperson to make a speech claiming that beer is a “gateway drug” for margaritas and martinis. And, no, I don’t want my surgeon to be smoking a joint while he’s operating on me. But I don’t want him drinking a Mai Tai during surgery, either. The reality is that welladjusted people don’t need to drink or do drugs. But very few of us are that well-adjusted, or at least not all the time. Who hasn’t had a frustrating day at work? A stressful day with children? A few sleepless nights? It’s natural to want to relax. But like the song says, “What is wrong with my life, that I must get drunk every night?” Solve the first part, and you’ll solve the second part. Jim Mullen is the author of “It Takes a Village Idiot: A Memoir of Life After the City,” a comic memoir about his move from New York City’s Greenwich Village to a former dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains. His freelance work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine and The Village Voice.

Palm Beach County to spend $15M on new voting machines WEST PALM BEACH — Palm Beach County, where voting problems led to the suspension and resignation of its elections supervisor, is spending $15.7 million on new voting machines. The Palm Beach Post reports that Palm Beach County commissioners voted unanimously in early February on the purchase of 900 scanners, 75 scanner components, 10 high-speed digital scanners and 525 ExpressVote terminals that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis suspend-
ed Democrat Susan Bucher in January and replaced her with Republican lawyer Wendy Link. Link says she’s confident that the investment will prevent another election like the one in November, where officials struggled to complete recounts in four close races, including contests for governor and U.S. Senate. Link says the new voting system should be ready by March 2020 for the Democratic presidential primary. Next month’s municipal elections will use the old machines.
PBSC Gardens Provost works to strengthen local partnerships PROVOST / FROM PAGE 1
She joined PBSC in 1998 as a professor of teacher education after working as a middle school teacher in Broward County. She served as a department chair for six years and associate dean for four years before being promoted to dean of academic affairs at the Boca Raton campus in 2015. Coleman-Ferrell, a Riviera Beach native, said the move to the northern campus is “like coming back home.” “It’s a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to pay it forward and give back to the younger people in my community.” In just a few short months, she has implemented several initiatives and events to help engage the community and students. They include hosting an
upcoming event to encourage community members to become ambassadors for the campus, working closely with local chambers, supporting career readiness initiatives with businesses and mentoring students through creating opportunities like Pizza with the Provost, where students can discuss hot topics on campus over lunch. “We are an amazing campus,” said Coleman-Ferrell. “Through continued strengthening of community partnerships in the northern corridor, building business relationships with an increased focus on connection to industry for career readiness and being a visionary servant leader for students, faculty and staff, together I know we will take what’s already a great campus to the next level.”

Pea-sized pill delivers insulin shot from inside the stomach By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer
WASHINGTON — Scientists figured out how to hide a shot inside a pea-sized pill – creating a swallowable gadget, inspired by a tortoise shell, that can inject medicines like insulin from inside the stomach. Patients usually prefer oral treatment, and comply with it better, but many compounds, including insulin for diabetes, can’t survive the harsh trip through the digestive system. The new invention, reported Feb. 7, by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology-led research team, has been tested only in animals so far. But if it pans out, it might offer a workaround to make not just insulin but a variety of usually injected medicines a little easier to take. “It’s like a miniaturized rocket launcher” for insulin, said Willem Mulder of Mount Sinai’s Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute, who wasn’t involved in the new research. Scientists have spent decades trying to develop oral insulin and replace at least some of the daily shots that many people with diabetes require. Attempts include ways to protect insulin from digestive breakdown and then help it be absorbed through the intestine into the bloodstream. So far none has reached the market,
Felice Frankel via AP
This photo provided by researchers shows the components of a swallowable self-righting device which can inject drugs from inside the stomach. The new invention, reported Thursday, Feb. 7, by an MIT-led research team, has been tested only in animals so far. If it pans out, it might offer a work-around to make not just insulin but a variety of usually injected medicines a little easier to take.
although some closely-watched candidates are being tested. An ingestible injection could bypass the hazards of that journey – letting insulin absorb through the wall of the stomach, said Dr. Giovanni Traverso, a gastroenterologist at Boston’s Brigham & Women’s Hospital and a senior author of the study. “The way this works is it travels down the esophagus in seconds, it’s in the stomach within a few minutes, and then you get the drug,” said Traverso, who worked with a team from the lab of MIT inventor Robert Langer and insulin
maker Novo Nordisk. The first challenge: How to make sure the device lands where it can poke into the right spot, even if someone’s moving around. Researchers looked to nature for ideas. A certain tortoise, the leopard tortoise from Africa, can right itself if flipped onto its back thanks to the steep curve of its shell. Researchers crafted a miniature capsule with a similar shape and a weighted bottom, so that once it reaches the stomach it automatically rolls in the right direction to latch on, Traverso explained.
Next, the team designed a micro-injector, like a needle only made of dried insulin compressed into a sharp point. To power it, researchers bound a tiny spring to a hardened sugar disk. Stomach acid gradually dissolves the sugar until the spring pops, shooting the insulin into the stomach wall. In pigs, the ingestible injection lowered blood sugar to levels comparable to standard shots, according to the study published Feb. 7, in the journal Science. Once the insulin was
absorbed, the capsule, made of stainless steel and a biodegradable material, floated free and was excreted. “It’s a very clever idea, that is meant to solve a very long-standing problem,” said University of Pittsburgh chemical engineering chairman Steven Little, who also wasn’t part of the research. Because the gadget passes through, “the only thing administered to the body is this little injector.” One hurdle: It works on an empty stomach, with nothing to get in the way of the device latching on. Traverso said that means it might one day replace morning insulin shots but not post-meal doses. If poking into the stomach wall sounds worrisome, Traverso said gastroenterologists have long used bigger needles to deliver medicines during certain gastric procedures and their patients fare well. The stomach muscle is thick enough not to worry about a micro-injection piercing all the way through, and the animal studies found no side effects. But Traverso said more research is needed to see how the stomach handles daily micro-injections over many months. Additional animal studies are under way, and Traverso hopes human testing can begin within three years.

Marjorie and Robert Emden honored at Scopus Award gala Supporters of American Friends of the Hebrew University gathered in January at The Breakers in Palm Beach for the 2019 Scopus Award Dinner honoring Marjorie and Robert Emden. The evening raised nearly $1.1 million in support of the Palm Beach Memory and Cognitive Research Fund at Hebrew University. Professor Asher Cohen, president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, presented this year’s Scopus Award to Robert and Marjorie Emden for their leadership, philanthropy and dedication to education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Emdens are residents of Palm Beach. “My wife and I are grateful to be honored with the prestigious Scopus Award,” said Robert Emden. “We believe in supporting the incredible talent at the Hebrew University and preserving the rich heritage of Israel. We believe this event is one of the season’s most elegant fundraisers and is a must for those who support the Hebrew University and the Palm Beach Memory and Cognitive Research Fund.” A star-studded performance by Tony Awardwinning actress, singer and dancer LaChanze and the Disco Inferno band captivated the crowd. LaChanze is best known for her role in “The Color Purple” and on Broadway in “Summer: The Donna Summer Show.” The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is Israel’s leading academic and research institution, serving 23,000 students from 90 countries. The university produces one third of Israel’s civilian research and is ranked 12th worldwide in biotechnology patent filings and commercial development. Faculty
and alumni of the Hebrew University have won eight Nobel Prizes, seven of which were awarded since 2000. Working in partnership with the Hebrew University, AFHU is a national, not-for-profit organization based in the United States. It provides supporters, Hebrew University alumni and the public with stimulating programs and events and organizes missions to Israel. The organization’s fundraising activities support scholarly and scientific achievement at the Hebrew University, create scholarships, new facilities, and assist the university’s efforts to recruit outstanding new faculty.

‘Frosted’ black-tie gala nets $941,000
The Gold Star Families Memorial Monument at Louisiana Veterans Memorial Park in Baton Rouge, La.
Groundbreaking held for WPB Gold Star Families Memorial Groundbreaking for the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in downtown West Palm Beach took place Feb. 20, just two months after city commissioners unanimously approved the site on Flagler Drive at Trinity Park near Phillips Point. The monument will pay tribute to the families who have lost a loved one in active duty military service to our nation. The Hershel Woody Williams
Medal of Honor Foundation’s mission is to place a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in all 50 states. The foundation began in 2010 and has placed 47 monuments in 39 states with 50 currently in development. This will be the first memorial monument in Palm Beach County to honor our fallen heroes and their families. The monument will be completed in the fall of this year.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society raised more than $941,000 at its annual black-tie gala held at The Breakers, titled “Frosted.” “As someone who has experienced the feelings of a diagnosis, I know the weight that is on the shoulders of LLS as they work to find a cure,” shared 8-year survivor and co-chair of the gala, Richard Rendina. “We must continue our work and raise as much money as possible to support research efforts. We cannot stop until a cure is found!” Funds raised at the gala support LLS’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Hungry bear goes for ride after getting stuck on trash truck
Martha Everett lost the black stitched purse more than six decades ago. Workers found it in January behind science classroom cabinets in the old Jeffersonville High School, where Everett was a senior in 1955. Greater Clark County Schools spokeswoman Erin Bojorquez says the district was able to track Everett “thanks to the power of social media” after one of her relatives saw a Facebook post about the purse. The district plans to mail the purse to Everett’s home in Florida. The News and Tribune reports that its contents included a wallet, a letter inviting her to the prom, lipstick, photos and Juicy Fruit gum wrappers.
WINDSOR, N.C. — Drivers were startled to see a hungry bear that got stuck in the back of a garbage truck and took a ride across a stretch of eastern North Carolina. News outlets report that a motorist called Bertie County 911 on Feb. 13, about a bear hanging off of the truck on U.S. Route 17. Apparently, the snack-seeking bear climbed into the trash truck during a stop and became trapped after the driver secured the netting that prevents garbage from blowing out. Sheriff John Holley says a deputy stopped the truck with the bear perched on top just outside of Windsor. The driver, who hadn’t been aware of the stowaway, pulled back the net and the bear ran off before the truck continued on to the landfill.
House call turns into horse call for police in Minnesota
INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. — Authorities say a suburban Minneapolis resident reported a strange intruder in her basement. It was a horse. Police arrived at the woman’s home late on Feb. 8, to find a pale-colored horse walking through various rooms as officers watched through windows from the outside. Police Sgt. Adam Wiederhoeft says the investigation is ongoing and it isn’t clear how the horse got into the house, but that the animal’s owner came by to remove it. A message on the police department’s Facebook page read: “No horses or officers were hurt in this incident and the horse was safely returned to the corral!”
Haunted by jeers, town rethinks teen trick-or-treat penalty
CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A Virginia city’s penalty of jail time for teenage trick-or-treaters has scared up some ridicule and a possible policy change. The Chesapeake City Council in February chose to wait one more month before deciding on an amendment to a 50-yearold law that threatens teens with up to six months in jail if they go door-to-door in pursuit of candy on Oct. 31. The Virginian-Pilot reports no teens have ever actually been arrested under the ordinance. But it made news last Halloween, ending up parodied on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Mayor Rick West says the town’s sudden infamy left him sleepless. The amendment would eliminate the jail penalty. Trickor-treating past the age of 12 instead would carry fines of up to $250, as would violating the 8 p.m. curfew.
Nine-year-old helps save grandfather’s life SOMERSET, Mass. — A 9-year-old boy is being credited for jumping into action as his grandfather was suffering a lifethreatening medical emergency in Massachusetts. Police say Kazin Crisman was about to get pizza with his 80-year-old grandfather Allan Crisman in Somerset in January when the boy noticed something was wrong. Kazin tells WCVB-TV his grandfather was struggling to start the car, and he dialed 911 after his grandfather failed to respond to his questions. Police say Allan Crisman, who is diabetic, was experiencing hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. Somerset police say Kazin helped provide first responders with valuable information so they could help his grandfather. Kazin says he’s happy his grandfather is still alive. Police bought the boy a pepperoni pizza for his efforts.
Police: Pot smokers find caged tiger in abandoned house
HOUSTON — Houston police say some people who went into an abandoned home to smoke marijuana found a caged tiger. They called police and animal shelter volunteers arrived on the scene. Authorities nicknamed the tiger “Tyson” after
the movie “The Hangover.” Officials tell KHOU-TV the tiger was well fed, but the cage was secured by a nylon strap and screwdriver. Officials say it could easily open and the tiger could have gone on a “rampage.” The tiger was taken to an animal shelter and will be transferred to an animal sanctuary. It’s legal to own a tiger in Texas if the owner has a wild game permit. But it is illegal to have a tiger in Houston.
Officer rescues doe trapped for about a week in storm drain
OLATHE, Kan. — Authorities rescued a deer found trapped in a storm drain in Kansas, and officials say the animal may have been there for a week. Video of the rescue shows an animal control officer using a long pole with a loop to pull the animal out. After emerging, the doe bounds into a wooded area. Olathe police said in a Facebook post that someone stumbled across the animal while walking a dog in the Kansas City suburb. Police say the open manhole was about 12 feet deep, and that the doe was “very agitated and in distress.” Officials say the animal had likely been there for a week because it was so emaciated. The video shows the manhole cover at the bottom of the drain.
Officials launch ice guessing contest on Vermont lake
NEWPORT, Vt. — Vermont officials have launched their annual contest to guess how long the ice will last on Lake Memphremagog. The Caledonian Record reports for its “Ice Out” contest, the Newport Parks and Recreation put a large drawing of a bottle of vanilla extract on a platform attached to a time clock. It will record when the facade, called “Vanilla Ice,” drops into the water. The lucky person who predicts the closest time will win 50 percent of the contest pool, which usually totals around $500. The deadline to submit guesses for this year is April 1, or when the ice goes out.
Purse lost in school in the 1950s to be reunited with owner
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — A purse containing a prom invitation, photos and other items from 1950s America will be returned to its now 82-year-old owner after workers found it while demolishing part of an Indiana high school.

Cockroaches named after exes fed to Texas zoo animals
EL PASO, Texas — Just couldn’t get in the Valentine’s Day spirit? A Texas zoo had cockroaches that could have helped. The El Paso Zoo recently ran a promotion called “Quit Bugging Me” that allowed people to name cockroaches after ex-spouses, former friends or anyone else on the nope list. On Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, the cockroaches were fed to various zoo animals. The zoo’s Facebook page featured dozens of pink-heart graphics showing black cockroaches and various first names or initials of people’s exes. Zoo officials say the response was so overwhelming they were forced to cut off the submission period early. The zoo’s meerkats exhibit was decorated with all the submitted names on Valentine’s Day. And later in the day, cockroaches were fed to meerkats, tamarins, marmosets and other animals at the zoo.

I’m Jack (A0341837), a 3-year-old, 51-pound male mixed breed. Ever heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” My manners are less than stellar when I’m in my kennel, but I’m a different dog once I’m outside. I play well with other gentle dogs and have even lived harmoniously with a cat. Give me a chance – I think you’ll see that you can’t judge this dog by his kennel.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You need your freedom right now. Whomever you feel so responsible for needs theirs too. If you can allow others as much space as you expect them to give you, both of you will be a heck of a lot happier. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) Worrying about what others will think isn’t helping you move forward. None of us can afford to let anything hold us back right now. Forget about who you need to please. This is too good to miss. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) Now that you’re clear about this you want to fix it right away. Issues this big require patience and deep reflection. In time new patterns will replace the old but it definitely won’t help to push the river. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You’ve fallen for someone who doesn’t deserve you. This is a repetitive pattern. Go for it if you have to, but don’t expect it to be more than just another chance to review the extent to which you devalue yourself.
Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) Do you really think getting more involved is the answer? You’re so fixated on getting this to happen you can’t see straight. Don’t try to force your will on something that will wind up being nothing but trouble. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) Others are laying unbelievable trips on you. You may be the only one who knows how sick this is. In an unguarded moment the truth will be revealed and everyone will be hip to what you’ve had to go through. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) Things have come down so fast you don’t know what’s going on. Time will tell, but in this situation it looks like you’ll win by default. Being the center of attention suits you. Do your best to wear it well. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) You wish others would appreciate you as more than just a workhorse. People tend to treat us the way we treat ourselves and they won’t treat you any better if you don’t stop working yourself into the ground.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Whatever we believe becomes true for us. If you believe that relationships are always doomed to infidelity and rejection, don’t be surprised if your current affair turns out like the rest of them did. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) This particular predicament requires a whole new approach. Fighting for your rights won’t work. And if you’re trying to win back what’s owed you, forget it. Faced with the need to cut your losses, it’s time to surrender. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) In any crisis your MO is to persist but it won’t work this time. It would be easier to raise the dead than it would to keep pushing. Haul back and let the universe take care of what you can no longer control. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) Being in the right place at the right time is the key to everything right now. Nothing happens when we sit home with the clicker. Miracles await those of you who decide to get out there and mingle.
